Well Forker Dads I have to apologize. I did a post for the Moms, but didn't get to the Dads. In my defense Father's Day weekend in our house is a two fold event in normal years and this year we have added getting things ready to move and dealing with Realtors and lenders. Oh, the joy of trying to sell a house and buy another!Three years ago my husband spent his first Father's Day weekend getting to know his new baby girl. Our daughter was born just a few day before Father's day, so not only do we celebrate him we also celebrate her. Which brings me to this weekend. Between celebrating her birthday, Father;s Day and spending time with our families, we had a blast!
So, unlike Mother's day when I pretty much just had to show up and enjoy the day. Father's day was spent make sure my husband, father, and daughter had a great day! We did the traditional backyard barbecue with burgers, brats, and salads. It is a simple and fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
As to the Father's Day gifts. Well that is not always easy especially for my father! And then add in that we don't want to really buy much for our house hold until we figure out what stuff we will need for the next house so.... I had to get creative. I decided I wanted to make something that would mean a lot to both my husband and my father. So, I bought two small canvases, let my daughter paint them, added her hand prints, and then affixed stickers to them to create a poem on each. Covered them with Mod Pog and let them dry. Both Dads loved the gifts and it will hold special meaning to both of them for years to come!
